"The Open"

A few days each week, together with friends we can get together and work out. For one day a week, five weeks out of the year, we get to call it "The Open". 

It’s better than the CrossFit Games in our own backyard.

We will also make this a SFC Open competition. We will have an Rx and a Scaled division with winners after the five weeks. We will have an awards ceremony and celebration.

Every Friday night at 7:30 Pm from February 28 to March 31st we will host for anyone wanting to be judged for the Open WODs. 

The WODs are posted by CrossFit on Thursdays at 5 Pm PST and must be completed by 5 Pm PST the following  Monday. 

If you miss the Friday night Open WOD you can make it up. Either Saturday at 10:30 am or Monday 11-12 during Open Gym. Your WOD results must be submitted by 5 pm each Monday. 


You can register with CrossFit and compete in the open or just come participate in the WODs and challenge yourself to a new level. 

Every Open workout needs to be validated to count if you officially register to compete. Competitors will have two options to validate their performances. They can work out at a local affiliate, where they will be judged in person, or they can submit video evidence of their performance to the entire community. There is no limit to the number of attempts an athlete can make, provided the score is submitted prior to the close of each week.

 











Four years ago when the Open launched most didn't know what to expect. “Dave Castro is crazy if he thinks this thing will take off,” Was thought by some the day they heard about it. Then as many boxes we're validating hundreds of scores after snatches and doubles-unders in Open Workout 11.1, we thought Castro was a genius!


What is the Open:

 The 2014 season begins with the worldwide Open competition. Everyone in the world is invited to compete in five workouts over five weeks, posting their scores online in real time. Last year, almost 140,000 athletes competed in the Open.

Every Open workout needs to be validated to count. Competitors will have two options to validate their performances. They can work out at a local affiliate, where they will be judged in person, or they can submit video evidence of their performance to the entire community. There is no limit to the number of attempts an athlete can make, provided the score is submitted prior to the close of each week.

Competitors will be ranked both worldwide and by region. The fittest 48 men, 48 women, and 30 teams from each region will earn invitations to one of 17 Regionals. This is the first chance athletes will have in 2014 to establish their international standings.

The CrossFit Games stand alone as the ultimate test of fitness. No test, regardless of its lofty claims, can grant legitimate title to the best without first providing access to all. The Open is a truly "open" competition. Anyone from anywhere can participate.


After the Open, the fittest from each of 17 regions around the world move on to the next phase of the season—Regionals. Athletes and spectators will gather in masses to watch CrossFit competition in a live format. Under the critical eye of Level 1 judges and in front of hundreds of cheering spectators, each region's best athletes will battle for a few precious Games-qualifying spots.


A testimonial from the owner of Practice CrossFit
Vicki, a spry redheaded Masters athlete at Practice CrossFit, introduced me to her husband that first night. At the time, she’d been doing CrossFit for more than a year and he supported her, but never actually watched her. When the clock ran out, she hit the floor exhausted and her husband teared up. He told me later that he knew what we did was hard, but not like this.

Most of the time, I’m not delusional. I know I’ll never make it to Regionals or the CrossFit Games. Most of the athletes I train won’t either. But after that first Open workout, after I saw Vicki’s husband cry, teenagers judge for their parents and veterans cheer for rookies, I didn’t care. The Open, for my affiliate and me, wasn’t just about making it to the next stage of the Games season. It wasn’t about building an ego or having one torn down either. It was about confidence. 



In the end, that's what CrossFit is about: the confidence to compete regardless of the outcome. If this is your first Open or you just want to make it a little more memorable, here are some things to think about to make five weeks last a lifetime.


To all SFC Athletes

We challenge you to take the next step and join us in the Open workouts.  Whether you want to compete and send in your results to CrossFit or you just want a challenge and see how you do. Many of our athletes will scale the Open workouts. To us, that says we've done our job as affiliate owners, as coaches, as a CrossFit athlete and as a friend. 

Competing, even when you might not be able to win or keep up, tells me you get what CrossFit is about. And in some small way we’ve helped you discover your potential. The mettle that makes you meet challenges, not run from them.

During the week we will talk about the Open.  We're here to explain and answer any questions you have. We will ask if you feel ready, or whether you've registered. 

No we didn't start special Open programming months ago. We just did what we do everyday: CrossFit. And just like any other workout, our athletes know their limits. 

Will they stare at a bar too heavy during 14.1? No, because they wouldn't do that any other time. 

Will they crumble over pistols when they struggle with an air squat? No. They'll scale and play the game just like we've taught them. 

Will they feel defeated because they can't do exactly what Games.CrossFit.com reads? Of course not. Our athletes know CrossFit is about giving what you have to give, and then cheering for others doing the same.

The Open isn’t just for the cool kids or the athletes with a bodyweight snatch and triple-unders -- that’s Regionals and the Games. The Open is a dinner you don’t need a reservation for. 

Come as you are. Compete with your crew. Stay to cheer.



Judges

A judge doesn't need to grade movement like a psychotic teacher with a fetish for red pens and frowning faces. They just have to count, or not count, reps.

One hundred and fifty wall-ball shots suck. Somehow, it sucks less when your judge is standing next to the wall with you. Maybe you've trained with that person before, or not, but now they’re fully vested in you and your performance. Best of all, you’ll turn around and do the same for them.

Judging may not quite be like training an athlete, but it’s just as personal and rewarding. We encourage all of our athletes to take the Judges Course, and a week before the Open we let first-time judges practice by judging another member on the workout. It helps first timers evaluate whether they can judge to the standards, and it gets the kinks and nerves out before the Open begins.

Taking the time to teach members what good movement looks like, instead of just handing them a clipboard on game day, pays off even after the Open is over.

Spectators

We allow and encourage your friends and family to come watch you.

Pat Tillman was a former Arizona Cardinal who gave up a 9 million dollar NFL contract to join the United States Army after  the events on 9/11. 

He was killed in Afghanistan in 2004. The official story was that he was shot by enemy forces during an ambush, but it was later revealed that he may have been killed by friendly fire, and that Army commanders and members of the Bush administration covered up the truth of what had happened.
